Johnny Aloha: I have searched for a quality tea for several years. I purchased this Harney and Sons offering based on several Amazon positive reviews. I have been drinking this version ever since. An enticing aroma and wonderful taste. Highly recommended for tea enthusiasts.

Stephanie W.: I am in love with this tea. I never particularly reach for Earl Grey much at all when it comes to tea, but I’ve been drinking this Victorian London Fog tea every day since it arrived. I generally drink my tea plain, but a dash of Splenda (or sugar) just takes the flavor to the next level and really brings out the vanilla and lavender notes. Very comforting, and the tin is elegant!

AC: I generally cannot drink black tea, as I find it much too acidic even at short steeps. I do, however, like Lady Grey and have been looking for alternatives. This certainly qualifies. I use a single sachet in 10oz of ~190F water without sugar, and steep for about 3 minutes. The resulting tea is rich-caramel colored. The most prominent flavors are vanilla with the currant in the background. Its fragrance is stronger than its flavor.
It is a more assertive Lady Grey. It does not have the bergamot, so the currant fills the role instead, which I find to be less bright. If I steep for longer than 5 minutes I find it gets too acidic, so it's fairly sensitive to the timing. I tried making this in a larger, 32oz nalgene with 190F water and 2x sachets, but it was difficult to get the acidity right.
If you like Lady Grey and those sorts of teas, I would recommend it. Those with a more discerning palate than I might pick up the additional flavors as well.

Zak Awry: After my first sip I thought I was going to hate it. It tasted very smoky, but as it cooled a bit and I sipped some more I got more used to the smokiness and grew to really enjoy it (the splash of milk probably helped too).
I can probably get the hints of vanilla if I really search for it but its definitely subtle, smokiness is the main flavor of this tea, but i dont think in a bad way. I might try steeping this with their Vanilla Cormoro tea to give it a stronger vanilla flavor because it is good, I just think I would like a stronger vanilla taste to it.
I dont think this is an every day tea by any means and won't be replacing my English breakfast with it, but definitely will be good this Autumn and winter on cool and snowy mornings.

Marleymeow: the tea smell really good and taste really nice as well. but every tea from Amazon are $4.00 more expensive then the tea original website. Even tho the website need to charge $10 for shipping, if you buy 3 or more , it is better off not buy it here

Kylie: This is very nice tea. It is very peachy but I don’t really taste ginger. It is quite sweet so you definitely can drink it without any added sugar. It would make a nice iced tea as well.

nick: This tea has quickly become an overwhelming favorite in our household, my wife ordered several different kinds looking for a new tea to drink regularly and in less than a month ordered 2 more cans of it and has hardly touched the others aside from trying it because she liked it so much. It has its own bit of sweetness naturally in the flavor of the tea so she doesn't feel like she needs to add anything to it, which is better for her diabetes, and thinks its mild enough not to be overwhelmed by the flavor profile while still offering nice aromas and flavors she has been enjoying any time of day from morning to night.
